NAME

       execlineb - command launcher for execline scripts

SYNOPSIS

       execlineb [ -p | -P | -S nmin | -s nmin ] [ -q | -w | -W ] [ -c commandline ] script args

OPTIONS

       -c commandline
              execute commandline, do not look for a file.

   Options for environment management
       -p     will  bypass  the  push  phase:  the current frame of positional parameters will be
              overwritten.  The script will not be reentrant

       -P     will bypass positional parameter handling completely: the environment will  not  be
              pushed,  and  positional  parameters  will be ignored.  execlineb -P -c 'script' is
              equivalent to, but more efficient than, execlineb -c  'emptyenv  -P  script'.   You
              should use the -P option only in standalone scripts that take no arguments, such as
              s6's or runit's run scripts.

       -S nmin
              will substitute the positional parameters - up to at least nmin - but will not push
              nor  set  environment  variables.   execlineb -S3 -c 'script' is equivalent to, but
              more efficient than, execlineb -c 'elgetpositionals -P3 emptyenv -P script'.

       -s nmin
              behaves just like the -S option, except that it defines  $@  as  the  rest  of  the
              command line after nmin arguments have been removed.

   Options for block syntax checking
       External  execline  commands  that  read  blocks, like foreground, use the EXECLINE_STRICT
       environment variable.

       Normally the EXECLINE_STRICT environment variable is inherited from the caller.   You  can
       force  it  unset,  set to 1, or set to 2 by giving respectively the -q, -w or -W option to
       execlineb.

       -q     same as EXECLINE_STRICT is unset.

              They won't complain at all.

       -w     same as EXECLINE_STRICT is set to 1.

              They will print a warning message on stderr if they find their  blocks  not  to  be
              properly quoted.

       -W     same as EXECLINE_STRICT is set to 2.

              They will also die.

NOTES

       On  Debian  GNU/Linux  system,  all  binaries  from  execline  package  are  installed  in
       /usr/lib/execline/bin/.

       For   convenience,   a   script   is   provided   as   /usr/bin/execlineb,   which    adds
       /usr/lib/execline/bin/ to PATH when invoked.
